Mayweather sings praises of his new Showtime deal

DETROIT (AP) — It's Showtime in more ways than one for Floyd Mayweather Jr., who is excited about both a weekend fight he's promoting as well as his lucrative new deal with the CBS-owned network.

Mayweather was in Detroit on Thursday for a news conference ahead of Saturday's junior middleweight bout between Cornelius Bundrage and Ishe (EE'-shay) Smith. Mayweather likened his new Showtime agreement to a matrimonial modification.
